What is cool dense air that descends from the back of a cloud?
A downdraft.
How do tornadoes develop from thunderstorms?
The process is not fully understood. But, to start off, you need a special kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. Supercells form when the speed and direction of the wind changes significantly with latitude, a condition called wind shear. This tilts thunderstorms, separating the updraft of the storm from the downdraft. This allows the updraft to intensify without the downdraft choking it off, allowing the storm to grow stronger and last longer. Usually the updraft is in the back of the storm while the downdraft is in the front. The wind shear also sets the thunderstorms rotating. The rotation is particularly present in a powerful, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. As the bottom of the mesocyclone intensifies and pressure drops it triggers a new downdraft near the back of the storm descends and wraps around the mesocyclone, tightening and intensifying the rotation to produce a tornado.
What are tornado watchers?
They're called storm spotters or storm chasers. They drive close to tornadoes and follow them collecting data or reporting info back to the local National Weather Service office.
How does twister start?
The process of tornado formation starts when rolling air called wind shear gets taken into the updraft of a thunderstorm. This turns the storm into a supercell, a storm with a strong, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. Under the right conditions a downdraft can descend from the back of the storm, wrap around the mesocyclone, and force it into a tighter more intense vortex: the tornado itself.
What were the most dangerous moments of the great flood of 1993?
The most dangerous moments would be during the eye of the storm. Because people will go outside and then the storm comes back and washes them away.

What is a downdraft in the wind before a tornado?
A downdraft is a downward movement of air. Tornado formation is associated with what is called a rear-flank downdraft or RFD. The RFD descends from the back of a supercell thunderstorm and wraps around the rotating part of the storm called the mesocyclone, causing the rotation to tighten and intensify to form a tornado.
What did the goblins call the lower gate in the hobbit?
They called it the Front Door. The Back Door was the cave where the party had sheltered from the storm.

Why do you cross over back the 2nd streak section back into 1st section and from the 3rd section back across the 2nd section?
Bcs to get less dense colony
Where and how do tornadoes form?
Tornadoes can occur nearly anywhere that there are thunderstorms, But the occur most frequently on the central plains of the United States. Tornadoes form when wind shear, rolling air currents formed by differences in the wind at different altitudes gets taken into the updraft of a thunderstorm (usually along a boundary between warm and cold air masses) and starts the storm rotating, turning it into a supercell. A supercell is a powerful thunderstorm with a strong, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. A downdraft then descends from the back of the storm and wraps around the mesocyclone, tightening and intensifying it into a tornado.
